    Jim Turner is one of the finest people I worked for/with in my 33 years at work. He is so down to earth, easy to talk to and generous. His extremely talented son Josh, appears to have the same qualities as his dad. On this video he started with a classic song, shared the spot light, and picted the right people to produce a fine video. Very cool, very cool

Ofcourse, he is as humble and kind in person as he is in his music collaborations. A wonderful, wonderful young man.

    OK Josh, I have been a long time fan and supporter but you just took things to the next level with this release. Every single person you featured in this video deserves to be recognized and heard by the masses. You all did this classic right on so many levels that I can't even begin to describe how righteous this is. You took a transcendent classic, honored it and then reinvented it. Not only did you capture the essence of the original but you also made it your own, this is simply genius. I have said it to you before and I will say it again, Yes, Just Yes. Please just keep doing what you are doing and please keep supporting all of those around you. I don't care if the mainstream ever gets it, this is truth, this is music that I want to teach my kids to appreciate, this is just right. Well done my friend, thank you for being you and thank you to all of your friends for being amazing, you are blessed to have these people around you. All the best...

      Violins and mandolins sound fantastic together because they're tuned the same. Such a great combo.

    These big mashups usually sound so cluttered but shit man, this is killer. It sounds perfect, the visuals and description hits you right in the feels, and it just makes me happy. I know this is an older video but I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and good feels when I needed it.

    Hi Josh,
    I have over the last 6 months been listening to everything I can find that you have posted. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed listening to you and your friends make music. Your ability to articulate over such a range of styles and instruments is really extraordinary. And the people you make music with like Alex, Larkin, Amber, Taylor, Carston and all the others are just so talented and wonderful to listen to. Thank you very much for all of these performances.
    Sincerely,
    George Marshall

This is what the internet is for :) Looking forward to the coming years!

    Josh,
    Very touching and thoughtful to include so many other members of your videos throughout the years. But, after seeing your Martins displayed so often with the occasional Fender, Gitane, or Cordoba, Josh decides to whip out the little seen Taylor 810-CE to play on such a monumental video. I'm guessing it was the one at your parent's house? All is forgiven :)
    How cool to have your formative musical career documented! It's kind of like what it would have been like if Paul Simon or James Taylor had been able to post musical videos of their youth. A mutual thank you.

    That is one of the very best videos on the planet. Obviously, this was a compo of folks from numerous places all putting their everything into a group effort that spanned a good deal of time and space to ultimately come together into one harmonious voice. The result is fantastic. The editing was superb. The sound is ridiculously rich and professional. It couldn't have come off any better. Kudos my friend. Kudos....

    Josh, I've been enjoying your channel since I stumbled upon it by sheer luck a month or so back. This song, though ...
    This is my very favorite song of all time, and you and your friends (and family too, looks like!) made me cry. You have a new Patreon patron today. :)
    I've had so many magical moments in my life connected to this song -- from hearing the Grateful Dead play it for only the third time ever, and me dissolving into tears, to hearing the legendary Czech folk-rock band Marsyas sing it in Prague in '96, in Czech! This was another magical moment. Thank you.
